For a factory unit the CC unit is not a bad price, very compact too, I also like that 22ft cord. I build and sell evse's in the private for sale section for the same price but double the amps, and add a full lcd screen and volt/amp meter. But I wonder if perhaps some people would just like something simple and fir less money. Maybe I should build one like the CC unit, I could call it the economy unit and see how inexpensive I could build it....gets me thinking.

2013 Nissan LEAF S Blue OceanCustom plates: GAS SUX

I love electronics and build custom EV Charging StationsCheck out my PDF with all the different options:https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc6ei1dkkqwbiwz/BSAelectronics%20EVSE%20flyer.pdf?dl=0

Install Notes:1. The #8 wire is very sensitive to taking the plastic jacket off and exposing copper when pulling through 1/2 metal EMT conduit connectors at the junction boxes. Electrical tape up these exposures carefully when examined.2. You do not need to remove the yellow wire connector in the unit per the instructions, just be careful with the washer and get it above the washer before tightening.3. The two Allen bolts that hold the unit to the plate are instructed at a ridiculous 50 foot pounds of torque, mine at 25lbs best. On a brick house with imperfections in the brick surface do not attempt 50 foot pounds or it might crack the housing.4. The instructions are somewhat secretive on Phase 1 black and Phase 2 (red in my case) hot wires locations inside the unit. Don't forget a true ground - green wire, mine is a dedicated 12 gauge solid copper back to the service panel and pinned to the neutral bar. Chicago is also grounded in the metal conduit pipe - No Romex is allowed anywhere!! The Chicago Fire Fear.

Total hardware cost for installation: $182 before electrician time and any PERMITS. Wink - Wink.

Total time spent by my journeyman electrician was about 9 hours. 2 hours was to re-allocate lines on the service to make room for 2 open positions to hold the dual 240 circuit breaker. Those who get $700 total cost sounds like a bargain at 520 toward service @ $74/hour. The 2,400 quotes sound a bit high at 8 hours time @ $275/hour!! OUCH! My electrician/plumber/woodworker/gardener/Dad works for real cheap!!Can take pictures if you need any that have brick exteriors or confusion on were the black and red wires connect!!
